Guitar Nine Releases "Guitar Haus"

Welcome to the June anniversary edition of Guitar Nine's on-line magazine. We've completed our first year online, and fittingly, Guitar Nine has released its first CD by guitarist Dan McAvinchey, entitled "Guitar Haus", which began selling in May. We're also chock full of new columns as well - enjoy!

I record at home in my 16 track (analog) studio. It took me lots of time, energy and money but I`m glad that I`ve got one. Nothing can beat a home studio. You can go there anytime you want and not be bothered by anyone other than yourself. You don`t have to book time, and pay by the hour. Unless you`re a lunatic, that is.

You have to have a good promotion budget and don`t skimp corners when it comes to this. You can have the greatest album and if no one knows that you have one out and available, it really is no good. Utilize all that you can with local publications and national ones as well. Always think of the nation as your market and not just your town. You can be the biggest thing in your hometown and unless they know you around, it really is not going to help you.
